I have seen the movie before, I think the book would be something that would engaging for young adult readers as it is a story of a past time

pickThe novel begins in 1815 with the release of Jean Valjean, a former convict who served 19 years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread. He struggles to find work and shelter due to his status as an ex-convict, marked by society and hindered by his yellow ticket of leave.
Got this for my daughters. 8 y/o decided to try it, because she got a kick out of the thought of writing it on her reading log for her teacher. 😂. Went up to check on her, to see if any comprehension was happening..
Me: “so what‘s happening?”
8: “well there‘s a bunch of people, and there‘s a bunch of different things happening in every chapter. “
Me: Ok, what‘s happening right now?
8: “someone is trying to make someone else go to jail.”

It‘s been a really busy first day of 2019 with a lot of family stuff. I‘m finally able to sit down for one of my 2019 reading goals - reading Les Mis on Serial Reader. If I stay on track, I should finish some time in August.
Ready to start the buddy read of Les Miserables hosted by @Kalalalatja and @vivastory I‘m not sure about the correct hashtag.
I just love this cover edition with golden edges all around 😍
